This investigation into Space and Privilege is part of 'Chopin' – a larger national operation called against tax evasion which is inspecting 110 companies across 11 autonomous regions of Spain. In total, 87 clubs and bars are being inspected across the country with 4 clubs in the Baleares region which includes Ibiza.

While no arrests have been made outside of Amnesia nightclub, government researches have been investigating the club's record keeping and suspect large discrepancies between reported credit card transactions as abnormally high for a largely cash payment establishment. Researches also observed that the total income from drinks and tickets may also be underreported.

Both clubs have continued to operate normally despite the police inspection.
